Especial Correspondence.1
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Few men lave been
more talked about Of late than Walter @.
Gresham, judge of the United States circuit
court, sitting in Chicago. His decision in the
Gould case has made him a more famous man
than he ever was, and has Sc. the political
tongues wagging from the Androscoggin to
the Oregon. OF course, e good many of those
persons who were pleased with the decision,
and all of those who for certain personal rea-
sons were not pleased with 1t, at once jumped
to the conclusion that Judge Gresham was a
candidate for the presidency, and that his am
bition as much as his judicial conviction had
moved him in delivering at Gould and the
monopoly wrongs which Gould represents
the hardest blow they have suffered for many
. day. But happen to know that neither
Of these assumptions is well founded. There
is no presidential bee in Judge Gresham's
bonnet. No thought OF Che presi-
dency, nor OF any presidential possibfli-
ties actuated him in this righteous
stand against wrong. It is no secret among
Judge Gresham's friends that he long ago de.
cided to abjure politics forever. He "a salts.
fed with his present position. Mentally and
physically active, he Is nevertheless O student
and a lover q his ease. Politics he despisez.
Politicians and their ways are distastaful to
him. Talking the other day with an inti-
mate friend, he said:

THE BEST MEAT.

Feeding Too Much One Of the Most
Common Mistakes Made by Farmers
The butcher says the oxen sold from

:. were very nicely marbled. and cut
up finely" This testimony goes 70
show that there i great deal in the
manner Of feeding to make the best
meat. These cattle had very little
corn. Their food was wheat bran and
rye. ground entire. with some varia-
tions Of fine wheat middlings. They
had only four quarts at time. and
were fed twice day. Half Of the
bulk Of the ground feed was bran.
They each had peck Of common flat
turnips with the meal. At noon they
had hay. also morning and night
They were watercd before eating the
meal. ! never fattened a pair Of cat

their stalls for just three months, and
were only out Of them morning and
night. when led to the watering
trough.
There was no waste in the feeding.
Many farmers would have fed eighteen
quarts Of clear corn meal in the three
feelings and more than half Of it
would have been wasted. Three quarts
Of clear corn meal at one feeding IS
all, in my judgment, an OK or a steer
can possibly digest. They will digest
this better when as much bulk Of bran
il added to it. Much Is 10 be learned
with the average farmer about feed
ing to save; and to make meat ut cheap
est cost. These cattle weighed about
three hundred pounds more than they
were estimated to. They were not In
the least bunchy, but the fat was all
through them, and this made them cut
up - fine. Every part Of the body was
fed This made them solid, and the
flcsh fine and tender. Feeding too
much Of one thing is common mis-
take, and corn puts the fat too much in
lunches or Jumps. -. y. Curtis. 10 N
